Never-ending multipitch, adventure climbing. desert cracks and endless face-holds. This is what comes to mind when climbers start daydreaming about Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Red Rocks is one of the premier fall, winter and spring climbing areas in the United States. The area is known for fantastic winter sport climbing, as well as long routes on some of the best sandstone we’ve ever climbed on. With over 1,000 different routes to choose from, the options are almost endless.

Travel

Getting into Las Vegas is fairly easy by air, and often times lodging can be found at exceptionally inexpensive rates. There are plenty of options for after climbing entertainment, and the city of Las Vegas has to be seen to be believed. But the best attribute is the wealth of climbing opportunities. The long routes on remote canyon walls are Red Rocks’ specialty. And this on some of the best sandstone in the west!

Seasons

Climbing at Red Rocks is best in the fall! We choose our dates in early November, to take advantage of the great weather and temperatures.
